Extract
Among the many forms of poetic composition cultivated by the troubadours of Provence during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, one of the most distinctive is that listed in the Leys d'Amors under the name enueg. This word, a Provençal form of the Latin inodium, means literally ‘vexation,’ or ‘that which is vexing;’ and technically it designates a poem which treats the annoyances of life from mere trifles to serious insults, from improprieties at the table to serious misdemeanors. This kind of poem, differing essentially in subject matter from the conventional erotic poetry of the time, belongs rather to that class known as sirventés; poetry which treats public or private affairs with either praise or censure. Like many of the sirventés, the enueg has now and then a didactic purpose; but in most cases the poet voices his own likes or dislikes without any ulterior motive.

page 276 note 3 Another Portuguese poem which shows slight similarity is that called nunca vi (Cancioneiro de Resende, o. c., Vol. xv, pp. 394 ff.). It is simply a series of pessimistic aphorisms introduced by nunca vi and is far from being a true specimen of the enueg.

Bilancioni pointed out that the other Molt' ò diletto e piaciemi vedere should have been included, as D'Ancona admits in Il Propug., vii, 1°, p. 60. The entire chain of ten was later published by D'Ancona and Comparetti in their edition of the codex vaticano 3793 (Le Antiche Rime Volgari), Bologna, 1886, Vol. iv. The first and second sonnets of the ring are found on pp. 267, 268 of this edition; the others on pp. 275-283.

Ferri, o. c., pp. 235-242. This text has 101 terzine, or 304 verses, but other mss. have a larger or smaller number. Prof. K. McKenzie expects to publish shortly the text from the Cod. Kirkupiano (recently belonging to Wellesley College, but now in Italy), which has four additional terzine; and also the shorter version in Venetian dialect in a ms. of the Bodleian Library.

page 294 note 2 There is a curious instance of the survival of the same general type of poem in a single strophe of the early 17th century. It is found in La Comédie des Proverbes (Ancien Théâtre Fr., tome ix, pp. 50 f.) where it is pronounced before a meal somewhat like a blessing.
De quatre choses Dieu nous garde:
D'une femme qui se farde,
D'un valet qui se regarde,
De bœuf salé sans moustarde,
Et de petit disner qui trop tarde.
Although no word like fâcheux is repeated, yet a marked similarity in general style can not fail to be apparent. This has already been noticed by E. Lommatzsch in his recently published dissertation, System der Gebärden dargestellt auf Grund der mittelalt. Lit., Berlin, 1911, p. 76.
